:
Install the
TROY
Support Files
for Windows
™
NOTE: The Hewlett-Packard PCL 5e printer driver must be installed on the host computer prior to loading the
TROY support files.
The TROY metrics file contains the required escape sequences that are used to “call” the TROY security and
barcode fonts installed in the TROY Security Printing Solution (via the TROY MICR DIMM). When properly
installed, the TROY metrics file will be associated with the PCL 5e printer driver used by your TROY Security
Printing Solution to enable printing of the actual fonts installed in the printer. By associating the metrics file with
the printer driver, the TROY TrueType screen fonts will be automatically replaced with the actual TROY fonts at
print time. If the TROY metrics file is not properly installed, then the TROY TrueType screen fonts will print
instead of the actual TROY installed printer fonts.
